How about old trainee geezers...

I started off getting into suits from the perspective of a young man at university dressing up for nights on the town. I was and always will be a modernist even if I am wearing a tracksuit. The whole thing of using modern English tailor or tailoring is meant to be a rather tongue in cheek reference to that because theres a certain irony in using the word modern these days.

I used to get a new suit made every two weeks and my haircut every week, I took two pairs of shoes with me to work at Gieves a pair for the day in brown and a pair in black for when it got dark. I had two jobs one at Gieves the other at a bar and I always got as much out of the student loans and overdrafts that I could. I would go to a Mod night in Leeds called Brighton Beach and show up on my own in a limo and go right in without standing in line. I wasn't really like the people that called themselves mods. I don't think they were the real deal, too much in the living in the past and vintage clothes. They would look down on people if they didn't have a black and white T.V and none sense like that.
